a beach walk is far better than a weight loss jab. Will help your mental health as well as physical.  I know you live down south, is the beach in question L-O-S by any chance? 

My pass covers both L-O-S and nearby S-B which is one I tend to use as I like walking it's golden mile. It also includes the country park between them both as well which I live round corner from. 

You must live quite near my dad. He is in L-O-S.  I used to love living on that coast. I do miss the sea since I moved to the Midlands. I went to the big school by SB when it was a grammar school, back in the day. Was such a lovely location. 

I am very lucky to live so close to the sea and it's something i definitely take for granted. Shame about house prices down here though! 

Yes, that's one reason we wouldn't move back down there. 

I only got on the property ladder because of my inheritance after my mum died. I often look at moving but it just seems so unaffordable now.

Sorry to hear the injections are giving you so bad side effects but great you have lost so much. Must be a great boost and make you want to continue as you say with the walks, gym etc. I think you live very near me if I can work the acronyms out it is a lovely area but expensive for sure. Well done on clearing all the cards great start to 2025. 

Thanks its definitely helped me be motivated and I know regular beach walks will help even more. Going back to the gym is another matter entirely but I also know once I do my walking and get fitter it becomes easier to motivate myself. One of those circles isn't it really. The more weight I lose the easier everything becomes. 

Haha there isn't many beaches with the acronyms L-O-S!

@Sarahwithlove  - well I'm confused now because I can only get a seaside place in Essex with those initials and I had assumed that you and your footie team are based in Hampshire.  Anyway beach walks sound like a great idea.

Not much happening here. Went to the office yesterday so that was train and car parking costs out of my travel fund £17. Went to Mr T this morning as ran out of milk and fruit, spent £12.17. Only had £12 in my budget for this week so had to move a whole 17p from my buffer. 

New week starts tomorrow for me, nails are being done £15, lunch out £15, evening out £10. Or at least that's what I'm budgeting anyway. I'm designated driver for evening out tomorrow so hoping the people I'm giving lifts to will buy me a drink. Would then be able to have a cheap night out and not use the full £10. I'm also going out for lunch on Sunday for Christmas meal with my bestie and her family. But that will come out of my Xmas buffer. I gave myself an extra £50 spending money this month for that sort of thing.

Good idea to have a xmas buffer for social stuff.  Enjoy your meals and evening out.

Definitely worth the Christmas buffer. I've done the same thing after years and years of the money running out in December... who would have thought planning ahead would help!

I think the issue is something always comes up that you hadn't planned for!
